$ less SetLang/CMakeLists.txt
# test forcing a source file language to c++ from c
project(SetLang)
# force this to be verbose so I can debug a dashboard entry
SET(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE 1)
add_library(foo foo.c)
add_executable(SetLang bar.c)
set_source_files_properties(foo.c bar.c PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX)
target_link_libraries(SetLang foo)
set_target_properties(SetLang PROPERTIES LINKER_LANGUAGE CXX)
